All over the world, youth are advocating for change both locally and globally. Through the Brown Leadership Institute, you’ll increase your understanding of complex social issues and your ability to advance social justice, no matter your current level of engagement. Through both types of learning, you’ll meet students from around the world who are passionate about various issues, including civic engagement, gender equity, educational access and intercultural communication. You will spend your days delving into compelling topics in the course of your choosing, actively engaging with your peers and instructor.
